They didn’t brick anything. They gave a button for you to get a discount if you did it yourself

Very cool solution to an incredibly hard problem. Not much effect on average citizens either as the majority of people on the planet are not living at sea and those that are probably aren’t living in blue water Baltic.

wait… so to get this straight, you were paying Redis, a company that creates an open source project, for their offerings in order to keep funding them. When they changed their license so that their business wouldn’t be cannibalized by AWS (who was modifying Redis under the hood, not contributing it back to the community, and then pricing it lower) instead of continuing to pay Redis who’s license change wouldn’t have affected you at all, you instead started paying AWS for a project they started in order to avoid paying for open source code they were using.

you do realize this is a walmart situation right?
